Pikeman Archive

it seems like i've been 0/0/2/1 in pikeman forever...and it has been around a month because i've been playing with my alt, but i really really want to just get up to master as fast as i can now, and as painless as i can...i know it sounds bad but i've had enough of sucking i want to actually be able to kill stuff

so what did you guys kill? for best xp? what new food is good for us? or should i just get doc buffs?
thanks in advance

doc buff, 2 brandys, crispix..go do dantooine and take regular quenker missions and spin attack on the lair. youll get around 100k an hour if you get efficient at it.

200k+ an hour I got using ATST to get higher difficulty and doing huurton howlers + stalkers

do savage quenker lairs the xp is much better and they are just as easy...i am at 4/2/4/4 and i can destroy 4-6 savage quenkers in like 1.5 mins if i hit them lol...sometimes faster...the missions are like 6800-7100 for savage quenkers...and the bigger the group the more that spawn...and i like taking 2 glazed glucose's and a synthsteak then you could drink the two brandys and eat a muon and you would be big pimpin'... good luck...if you are on bria and need training i need the app xp lol

I was in your situation too. Then I finally decided to put my head down and grind away. Now at master level, it is sooo fun! Actually, with each new skillbox, it gets better and better. Here's what I would do:

Savage Quenker missions on Dantooine. Like Stumpet said, look for missions that pay 6800-6900 credits. I got 3900xp per kill when grouped with my droid (which I left at the outpost). Make sure you have some post-patch weapons with the better range modifiers. Get some advance ubese armor. Get several crates of stim-b's and make sure you put a stack of stims in your toolbar. I adjusted my ham to be max on Mind Focus Willpower. Lastly get lots of the new brandy. This will increase all your mind stats by 350 for 30 minutes. (I used muon, but that was before the brandy was available). I don't know about other food, but I would investigate if I were you. This mitigation style is dependent on you using your stims. There may be better techniques, but this worked nicely for me.

Go kill those savage quenkers! Don't be shy about using those stims. Savage quenkers do not deathblow either, just in case you get incapped. They will destroy your speeder, though, if you do get incapped, so I would store mine, until you get the hang of it.

Lastly, I would go up the stances first, then defense, then offense. I actually went up defense and stances equally, and it worked out ok too. I did most of my grinding without doctor buffs, btw. They are a big plus, though!

And lastly-lastly, you will have a pretty healthy bank account after doing several of these missions.

Go to Dathomir and kill Chickens(they're the ones paying around 11k on the mission terminal), about 45 000 expe each trip out.

The new Breath of Heaven is Godly now, use it with a WonWon and no you can spam Specials.

If you get Docs buff, you want to get the Wasarian Brandy for Mind buff, as well as perhaps use a muonGold to boost it further

thanks guys i tried the quenker missions and that was great! lots of xp, only thing that stopped me was the server shutting down
but it was fun...my hope is restored
